She claims LGBTQ+ rights need to be restricted to “protect kids,” but she appointed a man who admitted to having sex with a minor to a high-level position.

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders ®, who has repeatedly pledged to “protect kids” with anti-LGBTQ+ laws, appointed a man to a top state prison post even though he had previously been fired from a local police force for receiving oral sex from a teen girl in a post office parking lot.

Jamol Jones, who Sanders appointed as chairman to the Arkansas Post-Prison Transfer Board in January, resigned last Friday after news agencies reported that the Benton Police Department fired him after he admitted to an internal affairs investigator that he had sexual relations as an adult with a 17-year-old girl, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported.

    Someone insisted it should be called statutory rape. I fact checked. If you find fact checking suspicious, that’s a you problem.
